He leaned back slightly and his eyes darkened as he stared at the girl in front of him.
Under the candlelight, her little face was flushed. He did not know if it was because of the heat or because she was embarrassed.
Her eyes were still as clear as usual, but there was a watery light in them. She must have cried.
“What Are You Sad About?”He raised his eyebrows calmly.
Xu Wanwan’s heart froze.
She forced a smile. “No, I’m not sad. I just want you to be happy.”
Li Jingran naturally did not believe her explanation.
“Then why are you crying?”
Xu Wanwan was stunned again and lowered her head in panic.
The Emotions in Li Jingran’s eyes changed for a moment. He stood up and walked to the girl’s side, gently holding her shoulder. “Don’t worry. The Li family’s matter has nothing to do with you. I’ll take care of it.”
Xu Wanwan still smiled. “Yes! I know you’re very capable. You’ll definitely take care of everything.”
After she said that, her small hand was afraid to gradually climb onto the man’s Warm Palm, and she clenched it tightly.
“Everything will be fine.”
Li Jingran only thought that the girl was comforting him, and his heart was indeed warmed for a moment.
He leaned over and kissed her cheek lightly.
Xu Wanwan closed her eyes and quietly felt the man’s gentle breath.
“I still have work to deal with. After you finish eating, go to sleep obediently.”
Li Jingran said this and turned around to go upstairs.
Xu Wanwan sat downstairs in a daze for a while. After cleaning up the dining table, she returned to her room.
She sat in front of the French window and only turned on a table lamp.
The table in front of her was covered with a piece of white paper and a pen.
Xu Wanwan held her nose and wrote a letter on the paper, word by word.
At the end of the letter, the tip of her pen stopped, leaving a black mark.
After a long time, she left a line of words on the paper with red eyes —
“Li Jingran, forget about me.”
After she finished writing the letter, she quickly folded the paper and tilted her head to wipe away her tears.
Li Jingran was busy until very late before he went to bed to rest. Before that, Xu Wanwan had been waiting for a long time.
She was wearing silk pajamas, a thin layer of which stuck to her skin. This was something she would never wear on a normal day.
But tonight, she planned to leave everything she had to this man.
Li Jingran drank, and there was a hint of drunkenness in his breath. As usual, he hugged the girl from behind.
Xu Wanwan’s heart could not help but beat faster, and her little face was flushed. She suddenly turned around and gently hugged the man’s body.
The thin clothes seemed redundant at this moment. Her scalding skin was tightly pressed against the man’s back. Her warm little hands held his waist tightly and whispered into his ear, “You can do whatever you want tonight.”
Li Jingran frowned and a strong heat surged into his body.
He restrained himself and slid his Adam’s apple down. He pressed the girl’s hand down. “Don’t move.”
Xu Wanwan buried her head in his chest and whispered, “I’ve made up my mind.”
Feeling the man’s increasingly rapid heartbeat, she carefully crossed her legs and sat on his body.
Li Jingran took a deep breath and held the girl’s wrist tightly. He turned around and pressed her under his body, gently biting her earlobe. “No regrets?”
Xu Wanwan was nervous and scared, but at this moment, she mustered up the courage to say, “No regrets.”
Li Jingran slowly leaned over and kissed the girl’s lips.
He reached out and unbuttoned her clothes, savoring the girl’s budding body bit by bit. Their hot bodies intertwined, and the emotions that had been suppressed for a long time were released at this moment.
The moonlight shone on the bed, outlining a luxurious and dreamy scene.
Xu Wanwan pursed her lips tightly throughout the whole process, her hands tightly grasping the man’s broad back. She endured, enjoyed, and felt this last strong hug.
In the wee hours of the morning, the fierce battle finally calmed down.
Her heart was empty. She turned around and tightly wrapped her arms around Li Jingran’s waist. She hugged him just like that, afraid that he would run away.
The next day.
Li Jingran woke up very early. When he stood at the headboard and buttoned his shirt, he saw that the girl on the bed had woken up. With a gentle expression, he said, “Don’t you want to sleep more?”
Actually, Xu Wanwan had not slept the whole night. The morning light shone on her face, adding a bit of shyness and redness.
She put on a piece of clothing and stood up. She walked barefoot to the man and raised her head to tie his tie. “Don’t work too hard.”
Li Jingran held her back and surrounded her with a low and gentle aura. He leaned over and gently pecked her lips. “Wait for me at home.”
Xu Wanwan’s eyes flashed and she nodded guiltily. “Um… I’ll wait for you.”
After she said that, she tiptoed and hugged the man’s neck, responding to his kiss.
Li Jingran let go of the girl and said calmly, “Let’s go.”
Xu Wanwan watched his back as he walked out of the door. She stood at the staircase and only turned around when she saw that he was gone.
She didn’t cry because she had done what she had to do.
She quickly packed her things and placed the letter she had written last night by the bedside together with the ring that Li Jingran had given her.
Before the servants started working, she dragged her suitcase and took a taxi to the airport.
Lin Jiannan still rushed over today. She stood at the ticket gate and hugged Xu Wanwan for the last time, sobbing. “Wanwan, remember to come back and see me when you’re free.”
Xu Wanwan patted her back gently. “Alright, you and Dr. Song should be well too. I’ll contact you when I’m free.”
Soon, it was Xu Wanwan’s turn to check the tickets. She turned around and waved at Lin Jiannan, then turned around and left without looking back.
The plane passed through the clouds, and time flowed quietly.
Three hours later, Xu Wanwan arrived at a completely unfamiliar place.
There was no Li Jingran here, nor was there anyone from a university. She was alone.
Xu Wanwan stood under the blue sky and looked at the unfamiliar scenery in front of her, trying her best to smile.
From now on, she would live a good life.
Everything in the past, just treat it as a beautiful dream.
—
One month later.
The biggest banquet hall in City a was holding a grand wedding. The main character was the only daughter of the president of the Li Corporation and the Zhou Corporation.
The strong and powerful of the two companies had joined forces. This business marriage had shocked the entire business world. Guests came one after another, and everyone wanted to feel the excitement.
The host said in a loud voice, “Let’s welcome the bride and groom to the stage!”
Zhou Lin wore a white and gorgeous wedding dress. She walked slowly to the center of the stage with a smile on her face. She was the main character today, so she was naturally beautiful beyond compare. She was incomparably proud.
Many people in the audience exclaimed in surprise.
“What a beautiful bride…”
“That’s for sure. This is CEO Zhou’s only daughter, and she’s married to the Li family. Don’t you think this wedding will be disgraceful?”
Xu Yue sat in a corner of the banquet hall, drinking happily.
It was really as she wished!
No matter how hard that country bumpkin, Xu Wanwan, worked, she would never be able to climb up to become a phoenix. In the end, Li Jingran would only choose an outstanding woman.
From now on, no one would compete with her for the shares of the Xu Corporation.
The host stood on the stage and only saw the bride enter the venue. He was a little puzzled, so he could only raise his voice again and say, “Let’s invite our groom to enter the venue!”
